Summary: The site is likely to support a number of species of principle importance, included in the UKBAP, as well as providing good habitat opportunities for reptiles, protected by the Wildlife and Countryside Act. Description: Former coastal grazing marsh which has never been ploughed, but where grazing has ceased or occurs rarely. The grassland has some scrub development evident from Google Satellite photographs and there is clearly a good structural variety in the grassland. Reason for interest: The site may well still support an important flora and fauna and is identified as a potential Local (County) Wildlife Site. General survey in all major groups is required (Thurrock Biodiversity Study 2006-11. Thurrock Greengrid Strategy, EECOS 2007). Comment: Sites Map
